October: Spooktober

There, I did it! I went for the most obvious theme choice! I don’t even live in a country that celebrates Halloween, but still feel that playing spooky games in October just feels right. Have a spooktacular Halloween, assassins!

(Big thanks to Evilblacksheep for the idea of calling the theme “Spooktober” instead of “Haunted October”. :) )

To participate, reply to this post and tell us which games that fit the monthly theme you’re going to play. If you need some ideas, then click here to see all Steam games tagged as “Horror”.
Because some of us are scaredy cats, a game doesn’t have to be scary to qualify. If it’s not tagged as Horror, but features things related to Halloween (costumes, witches, ghosts, skeletons, pumpkins, halloween events, etc.) it still counts as related to the monthly theme.

Please use the following (or similar) format to make it easier for me to keep track of everyone’s progress, but feel free to add any extra thoughts about the game(s) to your post!

name of game 1 | achievements obtained | playtime this month | unfinished/finished
name of game 2 | achievements obtained | playtime this month | unfinished/finished
name of game 3 | achievements obtained | playtime this month | unfinished/finished
total: | achievements obtained | playtime this month | Number of games finished

Have fun!

FAQ

Do I have to participate in this month’s theme?
No, as with every theme, these are merely suggestions for anyone who is unsure about what to play next. If you already have a battle plan for your backlog and/or don’t like this month’s theme, you’re free to ignore it.

What happens if I don’t participate in the monthly theme?
Nothing.

What happens if I play all of my unfinished games this month?
Your backlog will be a much smaller place.

I don’t have any unfinished games - I’ve beaten everything I’ve started.
Really? well that makes one of us… I salute you.

I already finished my entry can I play another?
Go ahead - the goal is to reduce your unfinished games list. The more you can play the better.

never thought id ever do a monthly theme but since costume quest is all about halloween thought I could do this month at least
according to my tags on game my 100% orange juice counts as a survival horror XD
frankly alot of my games surprisingly have horror for what I dont class as horror so think ill stick to anything halloween theme or my classing of horror i guess even if it doesnt scare me since I dont buy jumpscares horrors

I got goosebumps from finding out this theme. From excitement that is :D. Definitely a nice excuse to break from my regiment and move onto something more spooky ^_^ (not that I don’t do that every year anyways :3). Hopefully I will actually have time to play all these and more!

Thanks for the info, I looked up some videos and saw 2 jumpscares from it. It’s definitely scarier than how scary I expected a pixel art game could be but hopefully I can manage it, the story seems really interesting

Well, it’s like sticking your tongue or finger somewhere you shouldn’t, in the heat of the moment it always seems like a good idea.
But alcohol usually amplifies what you feel, which in this case was anxiety.

Besides that initial tipsy session it wasn’t too bad, I handled it like a big boy 💪
Based on the reviews I did expect the story to be more compelling though, I felt like it was all just a setup for season 2.

Finished a playthrough, to be honest I was more bored than anything else. There are a few things that can take you by surprise but it’s not too bad, for example see 2nd screenshot on the store page (you’ll see that one coming) and 10th screenshot (this one happens as soon as you enter the area)
